3. Bewitchment in Fairy Tales:  A Jungian View

Many fairy tales are about bewitchment, where people are compelled to live in a way that is not human.  They may take on the form of an animal, beast, or bird, or simply spend their time asleep to life.  These tales also describe what it takes to become human again.  How can we understand the frequency of this motif  and the ensuing drama if we approach these tales from a Jungian point of view?  How do these tales enrich our understanding of ourselves?

4. Midway in the Course of the Sun

The Romanian folktale The Bad Mother presents us with a lively drama that heightens when the mother turns against her faithful son and eventually plots to bring about his death.

How can we understand this dynamic, and what proves helpful in the midst of such a crisis.
